Miami has now won two straight and three of its last four after its victory over the Eagles

They were confident eventually, the first home ACC win would come. They figured if they kept plugging away, they could put together a little bit of a late-season win streak.

And with just four games left in the regular season, the Hurricanes put together one of their most complete efforts of the year to notch a 69-42 win over Boston College on Saturday afternoon.

The 27-point margin of victory was Miami's biggest of the season and it came days after the Hurricanes picked up their first conference home victory of the season after Wednesday's 71-64 victory over Notre Dame.

"I like that our defensive game plan has been very well executed. We've been really contesting things much better than any other time in the season," Miami coach Jim Larrañaga said. "Offensively, when we do what we did today and keep attacking, guys can make those shots…today, we were very patient and I was very concerned, because [Friday] in practice, we weren't. Yesterday, I thought we showed signs of fatigue and hurrying, which is what we did against Virginia Tech. So to play the way we did for 40 minutes, especially that second half scoring 42 points, shooting 59 percent from the field and 62 percent from 3-[point range], you can't ask for any better than that."

With the victory, Miami (14-13, 5-9) has now won two straight in ACC play for the first time this season and three of its last four overall. And this win came against a Boston College team that arrived at the BankUnited Center days after picking up one of the biggest upsets of the college basketball season.

Boston College stunned previously top-ranked Syracuse Wednesday night, earning a 62-59 overtime win at the Carrier Dome and snapping the Orange's 25-game win streak. But Saturday, Miami's defense held the Eagles to a season-low in points and kept sharp-shooting Boston College — which converted on four 3-pointers in the first 20 minutes — from connecting on any of their eight attempts from beyond the arc in the second half.

"We felt like they were probably coming here thinking, 'Hey, we just beat Syracuse. We can definitely beat Miami,'" said Miami's Rion Brown, who finished with a game-high 22 points. "We just wanted to come out and play our game, execute our game plan and not even really think about that. We respect Boston College as a basketball team. We know they're a good team. We knew we had to come in and play our best."

While Boston College (7-20, 3-11) struggled, Miami capitalized on career performances from Brown and fellow senior Erik Swoope. Brown led four Miami players in double figures and his 3-pointer with 14:38 left in the first half pushed him over the career 1,000-point mark. Swoope meanwhile tied his career-high 14 points and had a career-high nine rebounds.

The Hurricanes never trailed Saturday. When Boston College pulled within one midway through the first half, the Hurricanes answered with a 9-2 run that put them back in control and helped give them a 27-22 halftime lead.

In the second half, Miami forced Boston College into six turnovers and held Olivier Hanlan, who came into the game averaging a team-high 18.2 points per game, in check. The sophomore who had 16 of his game-high 20 points in the second half against Syracuse, finished with just 11 against the Hurricanes.
